I didn't dream about being a singer. I just was a singer. — RES
Have you ever aspired for something that you refuse to let die? Something that is such a part of who you are that you know you can't breath without it. Something that frustrates you because ever two steps forward feels like you are taking one step back? I can relate. That is how I have often felt about my career as a singer.
It has been a long, winding road of hills and valleys leading to my next album — RESET. Thankfully, it is currently about 80% completed and with Indiegogo, I now have a straight path forward that will allow me to unapologetically take my career in my own hands and get the remaining 20% done. No label. No middle man. Just YOU and me, finishing this album TOGETHER!
At first, the title for this album was a play on my name but then as time went on it became an overall theme for my life and society, I live in. This time around I am and have had to RESET my mindset. I am approaching everything from an indie artist point of view and am learning how to deal with being treated as such.
Going this route to fund my album is by no means an easy feat but I am fortunate enough to have models in other artists like De La Soul, Lalah Hathaway, Alice Smith, etc who have successfully engaged their fans and brought their projects to fruition by collaborating directly. I know I can do the same with your help.
As I continue to grow as an artist my desire is for you to grow with me. I'm at a different stage in my life and would love for you all to experience it with me. This is only the beginning. The success of this campaign will be the catalyst for more to come.
If we're able to raise $35,000...
... I'll be able to cover the remaining production costs for RESET and release it to you guys — my fans — DIRECTLY! Even the smallest contribution helps get us closer to making the release a reality. Any funds raised above the goal will be used towards marketing and touring for the album. Here's how the remaining finances break down:
Recording Costs: $30,000
- Studio rental
- Musician fees
- Producer fees
- Sound engineer
- Mixing
- Mastering
- Visual packaging
Extra Costs: $5,000
- Payment processing fees (~3% of total)
- IndieGoGo's platform fees (5% of total)
- Perk production costs
- Campaign administrative costs
